Creating the Battle Arena

Recently at SOE Live it was announced that PVP and more was coming to Landmark, and our own Jean Prior was there to give us a Preview. This got me excited, so I sought out David Georgeson Director of Development at PAX Prime to get a better understanding on how PVP came about and why it's part of a game that started as a building game.
